Olight Vs. Nitecore

Hello. I will keep this as simple as I can and here's what I am comparing.

-Olight M2X-UT Javelot (1x 18650) But it seems to be kind of a greenish hotspot and I don't know if that's good. Also the light advertised to go 800meters of light distance. In a small package. Intensity rating:150000 cd WOW

-Nitecore MH27/P12gt (1x 18650) MH27: It seems to have plenty of features(I like the cop mode) and also seem to pack quite a punch. It also takes 1x 18650 and has a really nice charging port on the side. 460 meters on this one (Need size comparison between M2X-Ut) Intensity rating: 54000 cd

P12gt: cool little light but only 320 meter beam distance. Also has charging port and takes 1x 18650. Intensity rating: 30000 cd (I think)

thanks, really need some help choosing between these lites. It's a month now and I'm still deciding!

For what are you going to use the light? What will be his purpose?

EDC tactical use.(Self Defense quick access light)

Would of went for the MH27 if I didn't see the Olight M2X-UT (If your wondering the M3XS-UT,I seen it but it's a little too big). I like tight beams don't know why, maybe I should get all two of them..

thanks,

For EDC I would go for the MH27; but it seems like the larger M2X-UT doesn't bother you. I think this would suit you better. It's a bit green for my personal preference; but each to their own. It's certainly a good thrower.

I would consider the MX2-UT more of a special purpose light, a light required on the job, whereas a EDC means carried all day, every day, any day. I know I wouldn't be carrying the MX2-UT in that way, lugging that thing everywhere I go. At least, not without looking really weird, especially in a city like LA.

I do carry a light the size of the pg12t and people still look at me funny. I think the Olight R20 javelot is more akin to the PG12T in both size and spec, maybe even the S2 which offers the TER reflector, for a strong beam which has a pretty good throw while not being entirely designed for throw. Like more good all-around.

I have a Ultralight Cree XPL C12 body which is the size of the MX2 and while it's more light than the rest of my collection, thats the reason I got it. For 18500 use, more juice when for special occasions that need more light.

The PT27 is now temperature regulated, a feature that is fairly new and says this light apart from the rest which are power regulated. It steps down some when it gets hot supposedly offering a fairly consistent runtime.

That said, probably my next light. Lol

P12GT- Why? True 1000 lumen max output, accurate voltage readout, easy to access blinky modes and best of all a XP-l HI emitter. It may only throw 25k CD but the XP-L HI throws a very concentrated beam no matter the CD. Its also the easiest to carry. Ive got the MH27. It is an awesome light packed with features with nearly 5 times the range of the GT but its awkward to carry and will blind the hell out of folks within a couple hundred feet.

The Olight is just to big to EDC unless you like it enough to carry it in its belt holster. M2X alone beam is so concentrated I once blinded 20 people by accident just shining it around.

Catching a bad guy in the eyes with the concentrated XP-L HI beam out of a quickly drawn P12GT will blind them good even in daylight.

M23 javelot is a good compromise between throw and close up tac work. M2X is very nice but a bit large to carry. I keep my M2Xvn in my car door pocket.

Hello.Hi there.
Nitecore P12 highly recommended by size and tactical mode. +Foward switch:

Nitecore MH27 if recommended. more powerful.

Olight M2X-UT Javelot - Not suitable for tactical use. (Except for Rifle) Not EDC.

Other options: Olight M23 Javelot. 47500 cd = 435m.
Fenix TK16 14.480 cd. = 240 m.
o Fenix PD35TAC 1.000 lm, 10.000 cd. = 200 m.

Regards. Hi.

Hi, I have both the Nitecore P12GT & MH27 both Cree XP-L HI V3 LED

The P12GT does not have a USB recharge port, the MH27 does.
The P12GT is a little more comfortable in pocket, MH27 feels better to use in hand.
the MH27 is a little brighter and has a great red light to save night vision + blue and green,
also has a handy red strobe & unusual blue strobe, blue-red combo cop-car strobe.

JMHO, I lean a little toward the MH27, both are great lights.
